johnnyzip84 Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I believe he mentions ShelDon Miller with the linebackers? The Spring Roster has ShelDon listed as a LB. Hopefully he's actually bigger than the 185 LB listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyzip84 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Charlie Camp discusses the linebackers. I'm definitely expecting this group to be the strength of the defense, and perhaps the entire team this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UA Fan Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Coach is slacking off on the weather reports. I had to infer from him being outside that it was warm enuf and dry enuf that practice wasn't forced indoors. He also continues to give away our strategy by blabbering about how we're working on both offense and defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I like these videos (LB, RB, etc..) better than listening to iCoach tell me about the weather and what they're installing. I noticed Staten with some nice blocking in LB video. That will help him get future carries. Who is the player in the walking boot in LB video?

Captain Kangaroo Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Interesting to hear the names of Paul Skolmutch and Shane Shead mentioned as noteworthy? And I believe I saw some Monster Hair flying around? If Cosgrove can coax some quality minutes out of guys that were historically nailed to the bench, it would be impressive to me. Nice to have a fresh set of eyes evaluating the guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP1 Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I must really have nothing to do tonight, because I watched video of a spring football practice. Three encouraging things struck me watching the videos: First, in the defensive line video, a couple of offensive linemen come off the ball really well and control the line during one-on-one time. I don't know if that is a sign of improved play by the OL, or the same old play by the DL, but it at least looked good. Pro style offenses don't rack up points in college as it is more of a time and ball control theory of offense, so a good running game is needed. The negative side of that is if two highlights of the DL video involve Olinemen moving the Dline off the ball, we could be giving up a lot of points again this coming season. Second, we were really soft last year. The play appears to be more physical. Especially with the LB group. Physical play by the LBs results in tackles at the line or for very short gains. A LB can make tackles all day, but if they are 5 yards down field, it doesn't help. Getting back to point 1, the DL must do a good job of holding the line to give the LBs space to work. Third, Woody Allen must not be doing well making movies because he is coaching the RBs. I like Woody Allen....I like the fact that he is on staff for the Zips. This is a positive to me.

GP1 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for posting the Oline video JZ84. I thought the video on the Dline told us more about this group as it showed them coming off the ball well against defensive linemen. We see more technique drills in this video. Maybe something to do with the small numbers. The one thing I didn't like is the blocking technique where they cut the defender and continue on their hands and knees. I like cut blocking, but not by Olinemen as they always fall down and clog things up. Everyone should be on two feet as much as possible because you are hoping the RB makes the second level and you might need the Olinemen blocking downfield. The second reason I don't like this cut blocking is you can't double team high/low anymore. There are too many people in close proximity around where Olinemen live to risk this technique. Even if the contact is by accident and only for a second, it is still a 15 yard penalty. I hope to not see much of this next season. Yards are too hard to come by to risk major penalties.
